Abstract
Smallpox and yellow fever vaccinations should not be given to women who are currently breastfeeding. However, these vaccines are not routinely recommended to the general population in the United States. Other vaccines that are currently routinely recommended for the general population in the U.S. do not affect the safety of breastfeeding for women or their infants.
